Faux pas :(
At school..whenever exams...even monthly Unit tests...got finished..all my friends would go to movie ... evening show .. on the last day of the exam. They would celebrate as if they had just finished graduation :) :). I never went with them. Dont know why. Just never went :)
But one time..they (Radhkrishna,Srikanth,Hari,shyam ) inisisted and even I thought of joining them. The movie was a tamil dubbed movie 'I Love India". As the title evoked some patriotic flavour with full of action, i said okay. . In the last minute one friend dhani alias dhaniah alias Daniel ( thanaki moodu perlu :) ) misinformed us ( we didnt know he didnt see the movie).. that he saw and the female lead's part was too indecent .And Shyam who was also bringing two other kids with him who were in their fourth standard, didnt want to take them to such movie and declared that we should not watch that.
He came up with an idea of goin to another movie called "asale pellayinavaani" which had Naresh as hero. We didnt like the idea.He convinced us saying it would have comedy as it had Naresh. what to do?? We went and .. oh... no. .. this movie had some top notch damn vulgarity. edchinattundi cinemaa. After the movie..i was going home thinking how would mom react if she found this .I was embarrassed . I went home ... she didnt ask me .... silently had dinner...she didnt ask me ... i lied down on bed and was trying to sleep..and then she asked :(
She asked "how was the movie?".
chachhanu.. I was 'dead' silent.
She asked again."i am asking you ... how was the movie".
I said with full embarrassment " we didnt go for I LOVE INDIA. we saw another one"
she stressed "Then..which movie?"
"we went to 'asale pellaina vaadni' " .
ఇక చూసుకోండి....she began " అసలా cinema పేరేంటి .... pillalu chusey cinemaanaa adi...? What did u say in the morning? Why did u go to that movie? c'mon say something ...". Full Class. . తల తీసేసినట్టయింది .
SLAP STORY
That day in school .... second period in the afternoon.... Telugu teacher Anuradha ma'am was asking questions on sandhulu-samasalu which was a daily routine for some time. That day.. She asked one question .... and nobody could answer that .... everybody was rising from their seats in sequence .A bit geography about classroom. the class room seating would be like I_I and the last benches were joined. The left column was of girls and the right column, boys.And the long jointed last row was occupied by boys :).
Back to story... everybody in the class was standing...the line would meet me in the last bench in a few seconds. manadeppuduu last benche :) . .Finally it was my turn and i answered. OOPS.... it was wrong. I was shell-shocked and i stood still. The standing line started from the first bench in the right and it came back to last bench where i sat and it was going again to the front in left side. The wave kept its tempo and rising all the way. I wished it would go on like that keeping everyone standing. But it didnt. Rajini would always sit in the fitst bench-first seat. She was the one who would get to face that question last. So...the standing wave reached her.She rose and ..and answered. Correct answer. My heart cried " NOOOOOOO !!!!... "
There was a reason for my muuga-outcry . Whoever would answer to the question by ma'am should slap the other not-answered-boys/girls. The humiliating slapping process was like: Hold the nose of the person with one hand and slap with the other. And .. And Rajini began her work. Slapping everyone in the class. She was reaching me .To slap . She came.She saw.She slapped. Embarrassing. Embarrassed for many reasons. Emabarrassed because i couldnt answer and she was the only one in the class who could answer.Embarrassed because she got a chance to beat everyone.Embarrassed thinking how proud she would feel with this mass-slapping :) More embarrassed thinking what if i never get a chance to repay her in this style :) :) . [ Months later..i got that chance :). i'll tell u phir kabhi .i dont think she remembers any of these :) ]
Okay guys ... thats the end of the series. Thanks for bearing with me all this time :)
adios
Kranthi :)
